LONDON, June 26.--Prince Albert Victor's
visit to Ireland tomorrow is not likely to be a

family would seem to have called for the selec-

known to have the tact necessary to come sue
cessfully through embarrassing situations. 1t
may be thought, perhaps, that the very youth
and inexperience of the Prince will be his best

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

Result of the Conference of Secretaries of Lo-
cal Boards in the Large Cities.
WASHINGTON June 25-The secretaries of
the local civil-service boards At several of the
larger cities, called here to confer with the
CiviLservice Commission. with the view to es.
tablishing a uniform system of examinations
throughout the country. and to exchange views
upon questions affecting the civil-servce system,
concluded their conference this afternoon. One
os the most important questions discussed was
the one of amending the present rules so as to
provide for the examination and marking of
papers of applicants for positions anywhere in
the customs postal service by the present cen
trail board of examination, located IN Washing
ton, enlarged by the permanent detail of one
more efficient officers from each of several of the
more important local Offices of the country. 1t
is claimed that by this system of examining pa
pers uniformity in marking and greater
promptness would be secured. and that
it would relieve the system of all sus-
picion of favoritism, the applicants
would be known here only by number. the name
in instance being permitted to accompany
the papers. 1t is also said that in view of
their other duties, the time at the disposal of
the present examining boards for the purpose of
passing upon and marking examination papers
Ia entirely inadequate. Mr.. Mason. secretary
Of the New York postoffice board. and Mr. DON
ovan, of the Chicago custom house board, were
appointed committee to present in writing the
views of the secretaries upon this subject. The
secretaries unanimously favored raising the
minimum of the standard of eligibility to certi
ficaton from 60 to To- except such places
a require special or technical qualifications.
They also favored the discontinuance of the
forty five year linn tatiou to the age of clerks
in general, except in special cases, and also to
raise the minimum Limitation of age of letter
carriers from sixteen twenty-one. These
views it is said, are shared by the Civil-service
Commission, who will soon place the matter
before the President for his approval.
